Typified by steep mountains and the flat lowlands where they meet the Norwegian Sea, Nordland is known for its stunning scenery. The Lofoten Islands off the mainland are considered among the world's best for travelers and include unique attractions like the Lofotr Viking Museum at Borg. Saltstraumen near Bodo has the world's strongest tidal current. Further south, Vega has been designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site for its age-old lifestyle of fishing and eider duck down harvesting.

Vikten has more to offer than artists and architectonic statements. Just a step away from the buildings, you can enjoy the unique nature, with moraines created during the ice melting, and an infinite number of sculptures in stone, shaped by sea and ice. Take a walk along the beach, or a take village tour – notice how green the grass is, pick flowers, breathe in the sea smell, and observe the sheep on the mountain. Would you like more serious challenges? Follow one of the mountain paths.

The Bollmann's road was built by Russian, Yugoslavian and Polish prisoners during the 2nd World War. Today, the road is lined with information signs about the war in Storfjord and is leading up to a great viewpoint. On the way up to this war memorial, there is a rest area and a toilet. On top you will find a reconstructed bunker used for accommodation. A summer trip offers beautiful views of the midnight sun!
